I really liked the first 50 minutes. But man, did that last segment get on my nerves.

Still nothing about Angela's motivations? Nathan changing his mind at the last minute, magically finding everyone else, getting sentimental, and saving the day? Peter suddenly becoming unable to control his powers? Sylar's unnecessary and unnoticd escape? Candice actually being the pretty white girl shown earlier, rather than the less attractive person she alluded to earlier? Molly joining the DL/Niki/Micah reunion? DL not being dead? Hiro being separated from Ando and ending up in a completely different time period? So, so much they could have done better.

As an X-men fan who's had the debate on whether or not blue skin and red hair is Mystique's true form, or a default she's trained herself into lapsing in moments of crisis or unconsciousness - Candice as a non traditional white chick can still be in play.

This is not just pure hope on my part. There are board threads devoted to this stuff!

I think if they took the time to give her that line, it could be something to be explained later.

Then again - as I said in my own post What About Bob?

TOT...but HECK YEAH, blue skin and red hair is her true form! What's to debate?

Well it's also part of the debate on whether Mystique can be said to be be truly male or female and not someone who decided her form would be female. Because she's such a total shape shifter.

I bounced right into that uhm two years ago? Three?

I lean towards originally biological female and blue. To me Mystique's a colored lesbian and that's more than good enough for me. I do think of her as being in enough control of herself to have to consciously switch forms....

Which likely invalidates Candice as she's illusion and not shapeshifting and that can need concentration. (Which makes her Mesmero?)

Damn.

Also 'TOT'?

I was pissed that Bennett gets a first name while The Haitian's still working with this generic descriptor of his nationality. Give him a name already!

OMG YES. I cheered when he finally showed up again, after all the hints about the building and Gen 1.0, and then... okaaaay. Motivational speech and Magical Negro. Great.

this episode sucked. Sorry but it did. Is nikki intergrated now? Hope so. Is Hiro suppose to be our guide through "Generations"? Everytime he makes a grunt face he poops to time period where we're introduced to another Power?

I dunno about that.

those muthafuckin writers better bone up on gender and racial studies before they get cracking on the next season.

I'm so tempted to send a book list. Real tempted.
